[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8495044, member: 6855114"] My thoughts on that are a mixed bag. The stories are well written but the super unkillable hero Drizzt became over the course of the books after the side story line with Entreri lessened my interest. But it took literally, a god invested Orc to pose a challenge to Drizzt. Even Raistlin finally got down. At some point, too much of a good thing spoils the broth. I did buy all the books, but did not get as much enjoyment as I did with the first six (which I read many times). Take the cleric's Quintet. Nice books, nice wrap up and Salvatore has not extended the sauce to the point where it became less interesting. Two trilogies are usually the maximum you can see if you want to keep logical. There are exceptions, of course, but it takes a lot of work to do it. The sword of truth comes to mind but even then, after the 9th book, it was clear it had to end somehow. I was really happy when Goodkind did the books on people able to recognize serial killers just by looking into their eyes. It is unfortunate he had such an early demise... There were many series which lasted longer than two trilogies, not all were really good. Again many exceptions but usually, three to six is about the max. Did you read his Demon serie? [/QUOTE]
